Rebellion (KaiStal f.f)

Ch. 20

"Hey, what are you doing?!" Soojung half screams into his face as she tries to remove herself from his grip. Unfortunately, his arms are too strong for her to even manage.

Before kicking the exit door open with his right leg, Jongin looks back to make sure no one is watching. He grabs his pistol out of his right pocket and kicks the metal door down.

The alarm goes off and Jongin sprints his ass out of there.

Oh, great, it's f-cking raining. He thinks.

"JONGIN!" She yells and clings onto him for dear life as he's running across the empty yard of the building. Even after a few minutes of a asking him what he's doing, she is still clueless about what the hell this guy is doing.

"Jongin-ah, what are you doing?!" A voice yells at the two of them. Sounding familiar, Jongin keeps running and looks over his shoulder to see Sehun pointing a gun at him.

Scared shitless out of his mind, Jongin yells and runs towards the fence even though there's guards there.

"Listen... Soojung..."

She looks up at him with worried eyes.

"...If I tell you to run, run. Don't look back, okay?" His arms tighten around her calves and upper body, for he doesn't want to drop her.

The whole crew of guards at the fence spot Jongin running like fire a few seconds after Sehun had to fucking yell Jongin's name.

Just 10 meters away from the fence, Soojung whispers—

Sehun pulls the trigger and a bullet comes flying out of the metal like a bird. It spirals for a about three seconds before it hits the victim.

Jongin yells and falls down onto the ground. All the guards have their guns out, all pointed at the young lovers.

"Oppa!" Soojung screens and worriedly shakes him. She watches his left hand move behind his back and his right hand lifts up to her chest level.

"Take this and run." He whispers, holding the gun in his hand. The left hand that he had used to caress her cheeks, the right hand he used to pull her closer to him... One hand is possibly holding his death wound, and the other is holding a possible life-saving weapon.

"I can't leave you here..." Soojung shakes her head and wails, her hands over his pale face. Jongin shines her a small smile and touches her chest with the back of the pistol. Being stubborn, she whacks the gun onto the ground and hugs him.

"You have one month to kill her. If you don't, I'll murder you with my own hands..." Jongin thinks of his leader's words.

"Put your hands over your heads!" The guards all yell, but put their weapons down. Jongin picks up the gun and causes another terrified guard to shoot him right into the ribs. The guards are surround them at 7 meters away, all in a circle.

"Kill me so you don't have to remember this. Kill me and run." He whispers.

And instead of killing her like his leader had asked him to do, he drops the gun and waits for her to pick it up to shoot him.

She does not pick it up.

"I love you, so fucking much." She cries and kisses him to deeply with tears streaming both of their faces.

The guards couldn't help but just stand there with their weapons down, in awe of what they're witnessing.

Bad idea, 'cause Soojung grabs that gun and gets up onto her feet. With a mixture of running through dirty, wet mud and shooting in random directions, Soojung desperately just wants Jongin's sacrifices to be for a good reason.

One shot in her thigh.

Another shot in her shoulder blade.

My oh my, these national guards have horrible aiming.

Risking her whole life, Soojung darts as fast she can and jumps over that gate (one of the only entrances to North Korea without getting electrified) like a horse.

Her feet land in South Korean soil. All the guards stop chasing her, for they fear punishment from the South Korean government.

"Aish...!" Soojung screams and just slumps down into the hill. Letting body roll down like a log, she swears countless times as her gunshot wounds get mixed with water and mud.

At the bottom of the hill, Soojung gives out a bloody scream of a mixture of screaming and swearing. Her left arm drapes over her shoulder and she stands up onto her feet.

"Jongin... please be safe." She mutters and runs out onto the road. Like God has been watching over her, a car's lights shine straight onto her and the driver gets out of his car.

"Miss, are you alright?" The young female yells and rushes over to Soojung's side. Depleted of energy and done with swearing about her wounds, Soojung falls into the arms of the female and dozes off into... who knows what.
